Room For Improvement

Users seek advanced monitoring, better UI, enhanced AI, and improved alerting in LogicMonitor, highlighting customization and learning challenges.
NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability requires interface simplification, better integration, enhanced analytics, reduced costs, and improved user experience and documentation.
I would also appreciate a stronger out-of-the-box AWS correlation, such as automatically grouping related issues across EC2, EBS, and ALBs in a way that reads as a single incident story.
Site Reliability Engineer at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees
For example, when we monitor a particular device with a temperature issue or high-temperature problem, sometimes I observe that in real time when I log into the device, the temperature shows something that does not accurately match what is displayed on the LogicMonitor platform.
Network Operations Center Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
I wish the user interface would be customizable to allow users to create personal context-specific workspaces to hide irrelevant data, rather than trying to have a one-size-fits-all interface.
IT Infrastructure Engineer at Ethical Trade SErvices Africa
Customers want to have service assurance, including NPM and APM, from one vendor.
Regional Director at iSecureMind Integrated Solutions
It would be beneficial to see more AI capabilities included in nGeniusONE to further streamline processes.
System Integrator at a construction company with 11-50 employees
Many big companies Samsung and Hyundai try to build their own monitoring solutions using open-source tools and their own engineers, though it has not been successful.

Setup Cost

LogicMonitor offers subscription-based pricing per device with discounts for larger environments, emphasizing value through advanced features.
NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability is costly but offers valuable features and flexible licensing, though enterprise deployment can be very expensive.
For small businesses that want to utilize LogicMonitor and are just starting out with limited customers, a pricing model targeted to this segment would be beneficial, perhaps at three or two dollars per device per month.
Network Security Engineer at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
The pricing model is subscription-based.
Cloud Administrator at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was all feasible; it wasn't that expensive.

Valuable Features

LogicMonitor enhances incident response, visibility, and troubleshooting with real-time alerts, dashboards, and integration, streamlining management and issue resolution.
NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability provides comprehensive network analysis, offering visibility and quick issue resolution through its user-friendly interface and robust features.
The dynamic alerting and root cause analysis have helped us fix issues before they cause a full-blown outage or degrade performance for end users.
IT Infrastructure Engineer at Ethical Trade SErvices Africa
Our SLAs and SLOs were averaging about 10 to 15 failed SLAs and SLOs that were over the time allotted to get those resolved, and those are now down to about two to three per week.
Observability Engineer at Universal Music Group
When talking about the statistics, it has helped us reduce downtime to about 40 to 50% because without LogicMonitor, we used to know about the downtime only when the application was actually down.
Site Reliability Engineer at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees
The capability of real-time traffic intelligence is also very useful because it allows for the comparison between real-time and historical packet levels.
Regional Director at iSecureMind Integrated Solutions
Their analysis capability actually surpasses other APM solutions, which is why customers love it.
General Manager at MOCOMSYS
NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE has an easier dashboard to manipulate compared to SolarWinds.

Anshuman Thakur - PeerSpot reviewer
Site Reliability Engineer at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees
Monitoring has reduced downtime and now enables proactive alerts across cloud workloads
When it comes to the improvement of LogicMonitor, I think there are a few points that can be improved. The first one is alert tuning, which takes time. It requires effort when trying to understand it for the first time. The defaults do not always match our workload patterns, so I have to adjust the thresholds to reduce noise and avoid alert fatigue. While the dashboards are solid, I sometimes wish that the UI was a bit more intuitive when drilling down quickly during an incident. There are many options and finding the exact view where I can identify the exact problem takes a few extra clicks. When an alert comes and I click on a LogicMonitor alert, it takes time to understand what the alert actually is and to go through the data points. The alert page specifically could be better. The alert tuning part can also be made more simple. The first area that could be better is alert clarity and routing. Sometimes alerts do not include enough immediate context, so I still have to spend a few minutes correlating data across views. Adding more actionable details directly in the alert would make the response even faster. LogicMonitor sometimes gives false alerts as well. For example, if an EC2 instance is down, it will not determine whether the EC2 instance has been deliberately turned off or if it is actually not responding. At that time, it will give false alerts. The clearing of alerts is also an issue. Once an issue is fixed, the alert should be cleared, but it takes a little time for that alert to be cleared. Another improvement that would be helpful is simpler customization for complex dashboards. It is powerful, but building highly tailored dashboards, especially across multiple environments, can feel heavy and time-consuming. I would also appreciate a stronger out-of-the-box AWS correlation, such as automatically grouping related issues across EC2, EBS, and ALBs in a way that reads as a single incident story. This would reduce the mental overhead during outages. Grouping incidents together, such as all the EC2 alerts, all the EBS alerts, or all the load balancer alerts would be beneficial. Overall, none of these are blockers, just some improving areas. There could be smarter anomaly detection out of the box that can catch unusual but important behavior without manual tuning of every threshold. Better tagging and dynamic grouping for EC2 instances would also be helpful. Cleaner alert de-duplication so a single underlying issue does not generate multiple redundant alerts would improve the system. More guided root cause workflows would be beneficial, such as providing the most likely causes based on correlated metrics. Faster search navigation across devices, dashboards, and alerts during incidents would also improve the platform.

Monitoring has improved bandwidth insights and application diagnosis but setup and costs still need work
They need room for improvement about the spare parts. There are shortages in Egypt in their stock. We tried to make RMA for specific parts, and it took a long time. Comparing this to a vendor like Cisco, who provides any component next business day, NETSCOUT nGeniusONE took a long time. This needs more improvement. I believe it is expensive. They need to reduce its budget a little bit. Comparing to other solutions, it is very expensive.
